contests as Mrs. Stewards testament was generally
regarded as an extremely vulnerable d0cument
from legal point of view. RumOrs were current

to have it set aside As three months passed ana

came general that the heirs had decided not to
bring the matter before the courts
Ex-Judge Hilton absolutely declined to discuss

CHEMICAL BOILERS FOR HEATING CARS.

To the Edftor OF The Trttnne
SIR: In view OF the recent railway accidents and
loss OF many valuable lives and large amount of valu-
able property by fire, the question naturally arises
Is it not possible to devise some means tor heating
by which the present system OF heating ny coal
burning stoves can De done away with ~ Very many
devices have been suggested, Tor instance heating
by steam derived from tho engine boiler rs pracised
on the roads OF this city, or fion an independ-
eut boiler carried In the baggage car or from chem
ca boilers the heat being generated IRON the deco-
nosion of n substance substances, such as caustc
nota.h or soda from electric stoves IN which the
heat Ia derived from electric current generated by
primary Or secondary batteries.
The objections raised to such appa ats are that tho
en- zine boiler in has not sufficient capacity and
ores 70 its size that the independent boiler 40 much
dead load to be carried ana generally to the steam
system, that the laws OF manv OF the States require
that the apparatus Tor heating tho car shall De sell
contained as to chemical and electrical apparatus the
hig cost OF maintenance. All OF the above oD'ectohs
excepting that OF the legal restriction are without
foundation There Is no mechanical reason why tne
enpne boiler should not have sufficient capscity In
fact several OF the Eastern roads have tried such
system and found it economically successful. -
Without question such systcm - the most practica
ble and to overcome the legal objection stated could
readily be combined with small chemical boilers
located in each car say boilers OF the Honlgman tyPe'
as recently adopted tor furnishing steam Tor driving
torpedo boats The chemicals required are not expeh-
sive (caustio soda and could be carried m each car
which would thus be provided with means OF general
ing all the required heat when detached from the
engine. Such apparatus would not be expensive In
first cost or in maintenance and would he perfectly
safe. GEORGE H. BENJAMIN.
